Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ataman Çelikel kicked off to start the match. Şerafettin İdris made an important save on a dangerous shot by Özalp Tayuk in the 3rd minute. Kazasker's Necip İşçen got a good chance for a goal in the 5th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ataman Çelikel struck a weak shot in the 7th minute. Şevket Hünkar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kazasker. After having played for 9 minutes, Ataman Çelikel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kazasker's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ataman Çelikel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Necip İşçen's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Şevket Hünkar read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 14th minute, Necip İşçen managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kazasker's supporters rose to their feet, but Necip İşçen was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Şevket Hünkar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Nurtekin Özbek fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Şerafettin İdris having to interfere. Necip İşçen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Şevket Hünkar having to interfere. Emirşah Aktan charged in rather forcefully in the 30th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Emirşah Aktan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Emirşah Aktan hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. In the 34th minute, Işıkalp Özbil fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Necip İşçen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 45 minutes into the match, Nurtekin Özbek had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Şerafettin İdris. Kazasker's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Nurtekin Özbek was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ege Sancaktar was the one to do the kick off. Ataman Çelikel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Ataman Çelikel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 68 minutes into the match, Mahrez's goal looked a bit too open when Ataman Çelikel came free, but Şevket Hünkar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 74th minute the ball was on its way in behind Mahrez's goalkeeper Şevket Hünkar, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 77 minutes into the match, Mahrez's goalkeeper Şevket Hünkar had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Necip İşçen. Şerafettin İdris showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nurtekin Özbek in the 78th minute of the match. After 85 minutes of play Kazasker's Emirşah Aktan was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. In the 85th minute, Emirşah Aktan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mahrez's Şevket Hünkar proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 90th minute of the match, managed to save Mahrez from getting a goal against them. The supporters of Kazasker booed when Mahrez was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ali Behzat Akkaynak didn't get a good kick on the ball. Mümtazer Nezihi's shot from long distance in the 96th minute was not bad at all, but Mahrez's Şevket Hünkar knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. The home crowd let out a huge roar when the referee blew for the end of the game. Mahrez were victorious despite being under pressure from Kazasker for much of the match.
